Good dim sum / good value

Limited selection but good quality. It helped make Chinatown a fun experience.

It is quite authentic Cantonese Dim Sum

Coming from Canton, I guess I can say this place is one of the most authentic Dim Sum places in New York. The food is really good although the serive is not extremly well like other Chinatown places.

Go to Ping's for awesome dimsum

on weekends. I have been here for dimsum on a weekday a couple of times and agree that the selection is meager, but the food is still good. I just went today and it was great like other weekend visits! You can't expect them to push carts around when space is limited, but they do have a steamed food cart and the clam cart. I personally don't mind the trays of food being brought around by the staff. The selection is definitely better on weekends. And the noise? Well, without loud talking around you it wouldn't be the right dimsum environment!

Nice room for Chinatown but not worth it

I wondered in because the sign said "dim sum everyday" but let me tell you it was a disappointment. There were no carts and you ordered overpriced dimsum off a limited menu, most of which were just various things stuffed with the same shrimp filling. No tripe, no chicken feet, no congee wt/thousand year old egg, not even pork bun...how is this even dim sum? If you have white friends who only eat generic shrimp dim sum, I guess you found a gem. I would have given the food a zero but the rest of the menu was okay. We had some noodle dishes which were very tasty, albeit rather expensive for Chinatown. I guess it's to recoup the cost of decorating the place and to pay for the liquor license.

Good try

They have a variety of dishes. The food is generally pretty good up until we got our after-meal fruit.

Noisy Noisy Noisy

Had dinner here on saturday night. Recommended place and I really wanted fish steamed in ginger scallion sauce. The food was alright, the service was attentive, the atmosphere was horrific. There were children running and screaming all over the restaurant. It really made us rush our dining just to escape to the relative quiet of Chinatown! There are other places with great food, with much better atmosphere. Won't be back.
